I stayed in the quality inn in Wigan, that place is alright

Anvil a must for a few ales

Errrrrr thats it

A lot of Yorkshiremen believe that when God created the world, he made it with perfect balance.
He balanced the hot areas with the cold areas. the dry areas with the wet areas.
And, in creating Yorkshire, he created the most glorious place on earth - full of majestic beauty and sporting giants.........and for balance he created....... Lancashire.

Hardly a city!!!

I would suggest the Swan and Railway if you you want something in the centre plus right near to Wigan Pier Train station and 5mins walk to DW.

I'd go for the Quality Inn if I were you, we are not overly blessed with good hotels! Anything else is either going to be a long way out of town or be on the ropey side of ropey!

I'd take in the Pier on your way to the ground if you have time, don't think its open as a tourist attraction as such anymore, so you can pretty much take in all it has to offer as you walk from town to the ground.

The Anvil is a good shout, other than that, not to sure what to recommend, the trains to Manchester are frequent...............!!!

yeah at least it's staggering distance...I've never stayed in the centre...is the Bellingham OK?

Anvils ok and will be full of RL fans..stay away from King St

Whilst I do not suffer fools gladly, I will always gladly make fools suffer

I'd suggest the Sheraton Wigan-Aspull, or the Kempinski in leafy Ince. If both are fully booked, go for the Radisson International (Wigan Airport) - pricey, but 5 stars, and handy for your flight back to Blackpool.

Travel down the road and stay in the much posher cheshire town of Warrington.

Thank you for your advice,we stopped at the Belair which was cheap and cheerful with friendly staff and a nice breakfast.Attended the game and sat with the Hull KR fans and enjoyed the atmosphere and passion of both sets of fans.Quite an easy win by Wigan in the end.Went for a beer in the Anvil and talked to a couple of fans in there.l had a pint of Bucking Fastard which was nice.You can tell you are in a rugby league town when you go in the bookshop and there is a great selection of RL on the shelvesGreat place,great fans and friendly people oh and the pies are nice too .
